Taken from my seat as we awaited the choral concert at this beautiful church, as part of the Fête de la Musique . This festival of music which is held on June 21st, originated in France in 1982, but now is celebrated all over the world. La Madeleine was a spectacular venue for the choral concert. The acoustics were amazing.

Paris je t'aime
I fell in love with Paris in March 2007. It was as the French say, le coup de foudre : love at first sight. As a result of that trip, my photography took another direction. Since that time I have pursued a career of sorts in photography and dreamed of returning to the City of Light. November 2008 found me strolling the streets of Paris once again. My first visit I was so overwhelmed with the incredible beauty of the city, I photographed it as a "tourist". In 2008 I returned and I looked at the city with more of a photographer's eye. I wanted to capture the unique, the small details, and oh yes - the people! This blog was started as a photo diary of that trip, but I have been most fortunate to return to the city j'adore 15 times since. Each time I leave, I wipe a tear and start planning my list for the next trip. Paris may well be a moveable feast, but I think it's best savored in person! Someone told me that once you have been to Paris, you will leave a piece of your heart. I left mine right there, but I brought home some wonderful memories. It is my pleasure to share them with you.

We've attended several concerts at La Madeleine. They were all great!
Beautiful capture and reminder of a beautiful event!
Gorgeous—and I know the music made it even more so. Bon dimanche, ma chère!
Acoustics in those churches are like going to heaven! Sounds like a terrific experience!
That altar is stunning.
What a fab experience Virginia, you can tell by the curve that the acoustics would be out of this world!
This is my idea of a calming experience - the beauty of the church and the music surrounding you.
What a lovely place! :) (I realize that description doesn't come close to covering it.)
Virginia I am in awe, I would love to attend a lovely concert there.

What a gorgeous shot. It would have been such an amazing atmosphere. We attended a gospel concert at Eglise St Roch, it was sensational. I love how they get people into churches with music in Paris.
